Grossman (flu) sits out vs. Ducks, could play Thursday vs. Sharks

Stars defenseman Nicklas Grossman sat out Wednesday’s game with flu. He is listed as day-to-day, and could play Thursday in San Jose.

Dallas coaches chose to make healthy scratches of forward Toby Petersen and defenseman Adam Pardy on Wednesday, so they clearly could bring in some fresh legs against the Sharks. That could be important in shaking an 0-7-1 record on the second night of back-to-back games, but Gulutzan said performance would determine most decisions.

“We’re going to look at that [fresh legs], but this is a performance-based month,” he said.
